Hello ladies,
I've been. A member of this forum for a year now, and I've learnt so much over that time.
I haven't posted much but I love reading all the threads,following all the personalities and characters that abound here.
I feel comfortable being here .
Through my reading of the many posts and reading your BIOs, a large proportion of the members have very macho jobs and pastimes. For example soldiers, fighter pilots, police men, firefighters, construction workers, hunters, marathoners, long distance bike riders. Etc....
Yes and Gentic women do these things as well and if not better than men, though they don't do them in the same numbers as males my question is not about females not being able to do these things.
My macho claim is that I liked to surf large waves in my younger days though I still surf ,the waves aren't as big as they used to be, actually they are quiet sedate now.
My question is do you feel you did these macho careers and pastimes to try to hide/ conceal your dressing to proof to yourself that you lived up to societies perceived ideas on masculinity?
Thinking back now I really think that is why I went and did the big waves. And other silly things
